Wednesday, Apr 13, 2011New Jersey

Wilmington, DE — One hundred fifty-two Nemours physicians have been selected among the Best Doctors in America® for 2011-2012.

The current listing of the Best Doctors in America® is the result of exhaustive polling of over 45,000 physicians in the United States, undertaken by Best Doctors®, Inc., the world leader in connecting people with the best medical care. Best Doctors®, Inc. goes through extraordinary lengths to ensure the credibility and comprehensiveness of their database of best doctors.

Worldwide, Best Doctors® has identified more than 50,000 physicians who were asked to rate the clinical abilities of other doctors in their areas of specialization. Doctors in over 400 subspecialties of medicine appear on this year’s list. In a confidential review, current listees answer the question, “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer?” Only 5% of doctors practicing in the U.S. are selected for each Best Doctors® list.

About Nemours

Nemours is an internationally recognized children's health system that owns and operates the two free-standing children’s hospitals: the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., and Nemours Children's Hospital in Orlando, Fla., along with outpatient facilities in five states, delivering pediatric primary, specialty and urgent care. Nemours also powers the world’s most-visited website for information on the health of children and teens, KidsHealth.org, and offers on-demand, online video patient visits through Nemours CareConnect. Nemours ReadingBrightstart.org is a program dedicated to preventing reading failure in young children, grounded in Nemours’ understanding that child health and learning are inextricably linked, and that reading level is a strong predictor of adult health.
